Over 200 New Year New Me Part 17

Hello Ladies!

I just had to post that I am down an additional .4 lbs from yesterday! I officially under 218 WAHOO! I haven't put in my calories & stuff from yesterday but i will later! I just had to share!

Hey Ann, thanks for the new thread. Good to see you today.

I have been inspired today!!! hopefully it sticks. I was watching some chick on tv who claimed she went from a size 12 to a 4. What is that like 4 sizes? She said she did it in 6 weeks. I know that 4 sizes in 6 weeks is unrealistic for your average person without a personal trainer. But 1 maybe 2 sizes is not. Every year I go to a family church camp, it is 6 weeks away. There are people there that I only see this 1 time a year. I have decided that I want to be down 1 pants size by then. Preferably 2, but I will feel as if I have been successful if I am able to drop 1. Why not? Last year when I went I wore 1 pants size bigger than I do now, so I am already better than last year I would just like to be even better. I think I told you all this last year, that they all have a hill they walk up everyday and I could never do it. Last year I was able to walk up that hill. I want to be even fitter this year walking up that hill. Here is my new shiny for right now!!!!! Wish me luck!!!!!

Just a quick weekend check in on the new thread. Thanks Awestfall, glad to have you back with us and I hope you thoroughly enjoyed your celebration !1

Lildebbie, Bluenote - keep your heads up and just move forward, there is no going back :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:

Check in for Friday, Saturday & Sunday.
Ate huge amounts of calories on Fri & Sat and loved it!!!!! Don't feel guilty at all because I burned over 1200 calories each day in exercise so I didn't even come close to eating my goals. I ate about 2000 cals each day and had about 800 to spare each day. I felt like I really at a lot but looking back on my past behavior it was not close to what I WAS eating.
Sunday - will be way under again because of 1000 exercise cals to add in.
Water - really good all 3 days
Exercise - Heavy duty gardening for several hours each day in the hot sun, shoveling dirt, swinging a pick axe moving large rocks etc.....I am so sore!!!!!
If anybody needs to up their exercise - come on over there's more work to be done!!!!

Proud that I can actually sustain a level of activity for several hours that would have wiped me out in 20 mins last year.

Hope you all have a great Monday, I won't be able to stalk again until Tuesday

proud- not really

Cris

cris - I AM PROUD OF YOU. Just look at where that is on your ticker! It didn't get there overnight! So you didn't exercise. Make tomorrow different. You're my hero!!! :flowerforyou:

check in:
calories: good
water: 96
exercise: full monty
proud: I went to our Polish picnic today and danced with my cousins. They all needed to stop dancing the polka with me long before I was pooped out! That made me feel really good. Last year at the picnic I didn't even dare do the polka with them because I was too exhausted just walking to the picnic!

Glad to see everybody is doing well on this Sunday! I haven't counted calories since Thursday or Friday...can't remember and I'm too lazy to check. I'm down to 214 this morning! And that's after TOM hit hard and another night of beer drinking! Hopefully I can hit my goal this week!!

Hello gals ...

I am ready for this week to start ...its a new month !!

Hello ladies! I have big news...I am officially in ONEDERLAND!!! Woohoo! I weighed in today at 197.4, 4 lbs down from last Monday. I am loving it!

This weekend has been good. I've gotten back on my exercise groove and burned a bunch of calories on Saturday and Sunday. I had plenty of exercise calories left over on both days, and got at least 80 oz of water in each day.

Hope you all have a great Monday!

How EXCITING!!!!! Yay for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I look forward to joining you there this year.

I think that's totally realistic After all you will sometimes lose inches when there have been no weight losses so down a pant size in 6 weeks should be no problem

So after an induction that started at 8am friday...progressing to 9cm dilated by MIDNIGHT Saturday, and staying there until 2am saturday My nephew was born by c-section at 3:10am weighing 7lbs 7oz I was keeping up with my sister in laws birth through text messages right up until he was born, there was NO way I could sleep with all the anticipation. The birth announcement was text at 5am and we had to be up and gone to the market a couple hours after that so I just stayed up. We went to the market and walked around for an hour or so, and then went and bough a ton of newborn outfits for my nephew and a couple things for my older nephew [learned from my oldest that when they get something it makes the transition easier] He just turned two and he's going to be a fantastic big brother. I felt terrible cause this little guy should be coming home to 2 big brothers[oldest is a twin, but his brother passed away a day after he was born ] Instead we shared thoughts about Avery and how we knew he was there every minute of that day in spirit! Needless to say when I got home at 11pm that night I passed out :yawn: Today we went shopping and went to see my grandparents for a while. They offered to take my toddler for a few days soon so I'm pretty excited about that [I LOVE her, but it would be nice to only have the break from her little active, constantly talking self :laugh: ]

So ready to start off May the RIGHT way!! Have a fridge and freezer FULL of nutritious foods and my energy and motivation is back in high gear!! Here's to a new month ladies :happy:

Awestfall: thanks for the new thread and have fun on your anniversary ;-)

Littledeb and Blutenote, what is this I hear about giving up?? There is no such thing as giving up…unless you are giving up on life…and I know for sure that is not what you guys want. It is a new month and a new beginning. The best part through this journey is we have each other every step of the way…the highs and lows of life..please don’t give up!!!

Momma: I am glad you found inspiration..losing a pant size ( or maybe 2 pant sizes) is doable..have faith and we will help motivate you..just believe you can do it..and I know for sure you can

Cris: Look at how far you have come and How much you’ve lost? More than me and I have been here longer than you… Ok you have not exercised is a couple of days..you don’t want to do too much while your body is recovering. Start slow and work your way back to where you were..don’t thing about giving up too…I need all my MFP sistas

Jib: did you get your new shoes and how do they feel on your feet? I heard a lot of great reviews on those shoes..especially from Dr. OZ. Let us know what you think. Ooo before I forget, i think you mentions that you started or about to restart C25K…well I was going to restart again today…have fun girl

Elmox: Congrats on being Onederland!!!

Kdub: congrats to breaking the 220 mark!

Meokk: WOW!!1 you are burning calories like crazy…I see a big loss in your future

Jess: OMG…you are so close to being Onderland!!! I can see it within the next few weeks..I had better step up my game…lol

Jesyka: Congrats on the new addition to the family

Raider: Congrats to a smaller waist…lol! Keep it up

If I forgot anyone...so sorry
